They also are useful as antihypertensive agents, e.g., at 1 mg./kg., i.p. in the rat.

The products of Formula I may be produced by either of two methods described below. The symbols have the same meanings defined previously.

According to the preferred method, a naphthol of the formula is made to react with an epoxide of the formula (Y is chlorine or bromine), to obtain a product of the formula CH-R By refluxing the compound of Formula IV with an unsubstituted or substituted adamantylamine of the formula R -HN-(crt in an inert organic solvent such as n-propanol, benzene or toluene, e.g., for about 16 to 24 hours, yields a product of Formula I wherein R is hydrogen. The ester, i.e., wherein R is acyl, is obtained by esterifying the product of the foregoing procedure with the appropriate hydrocarbon carboxylic acid, e.g., by refluxing the alcohol (Formula I wherein R"=H) with the appropriate acid in methylene or ethylene chloride as solvent using a trace of sulfuric acid, aryl sulfonic acid or boron-trifluoride as catalyst. In an alternate procedure, the alcohol is heated with the appropriate acid chloride or acid anhydride (obtained from the appropriate hydrocarbon carboxylic acid) in the presence of anhydrous pyridine or sodium acetate. Examples of such acids include acetic acid, propionic acid, isobutyric acid, hexanoic acid, decanoic acid, benzoic acid, phenylacetic acid, l-adamantane carboxylic acid, 3-methyl-1-adamantaneacetic acid, etc. The acid addition salts may be formed as previously described.

As an alternate method, an adamantylamine of Formula V is reacted with a compound of the formula R5 R l l i oTcacn-y X R6 in (Y is a halogen, preferably bromine), e.g., by refluxing two equivalents of the compound of Formula V with one equivalent of VI in an organic solvent such as chloroform, benzene, toluene or dimethoxyethane for about 6 to 10 hours.

The compounds of Formula VI are prepared by reacting compounds of Formula IV with a hydrohalic acid, for example, hydrobromic acid.

Adamantylamines of Formula V may be produced by several methods. When m is 0 and R is hydrogen, unsubstituted and substituted adamantylamines of the formula (VII) 2 R NH are known, e.g., l-adamantylamine, 3-methyl-1-adamantylamine, 3 ethyl-l-adamantylamine, 3 methoxy-l-adamantylamine, 3,5 dimethyl-l-adamantylamine, 3,5 dimethoxy-l-adamantylamine and the like, and may be prepared by known methods. When In is 0 and R is other than hydrogen they may be prepared from unsubstituted adamantylamines of Formula VII by refluxing the latter with an acid chloride RCOCl or an acid anhydride (RCO) O. The product of the formula (VIII) NHCOR is refluxed in a solvent such as tetrahydrofuran in the presence of a reducing agent such as lithium aluminum hydride to obtain a product of the formula mrcrz a R COCl 6 The latter is treated with an amine R -NH to obtain This acid is then processed as described above when m is the amide 1 to give (XI) (XV) r R-L R1 10 R comm cH cu Nrm Upon reduction with lithium aluminum hydride in tetrahydmfumn there is obtained The following examples are illustrative of the invention.
